NTT SonoVo Stick microphone, Digi Mart USA News: NTT Sonority has begun selling its SonoVo Stick, a wearable communication microphone designed for workers and event staff who need to talk in very noisy settings. The device was first introduced when NTT announced its SonoVo professional communication range in June 2026, and sales have now started in Japan.
The SonoVo Stick is listed at ¥24,000 (approximately $150), excluding tax. According to the publisher report, it cannot be bought directly and is offered through a purchasing inquiry form.
The device weighs 29 grams and clips magnetically onto clothing. It connects over Bluetooth 5.3 and uses two MEMS microphones together with NTT’s patented Magic Focus Voice technology, which combines directional beamforming with filtering intended to separate the speaker’s voice from surrounding sound.
According to NTT, the system can keep speech intelligible in environments exceeding 100dB of noise, including factories and construction sites. Three modes are available: one prioritizes speech when the microphone is held near the mouth, one is designed for hands-free use on clothing, and one captures a wider sound field including environmental noise.
The Stick has IP54 protection against dust and splashes, USB-C charging and a claimed battery life of up to 15 hours. Its push-to-talk button is designed to remain usable while wearing work gloves.
NTT also says it supports integration with the BONX WORK and LINE WORKS communication platforms, and that its SonoVo AI platform can help process recorded workplace conversations.
The publisher notes that the SonoVo Stick is a microphone device rather than a complete headset. It can be connected to headphones through a 3.5mm jack.
